Dsc PGP9986 Wireless Water Freeze Detection Sensor

Product Description

The DSC PGP9986 is a PowerG wireless water and freeze detection tile designed for integration with compatible PowerG security and automation systems. The sensor detects the presence of water at floor level and monitors ambient temperature to identify freeze conditions before damage occurs. It is suited for installation in residential and light commercial environments where water intrusion or pipe freeze risk is a concern. Licensed alarm technicians and security system installers are the primary trade that handles deployment and commissioning of this device.

The PGP9986 is used in locations prone to water leaks or temperature drops, such as mechanical rooms, utility spaces, basements, crawl spaces, and areas near water heaters, sump pits, or plumbing supply lines. The freeze detection function provides an early warning of dangerously low ambient temperatures that could lead to pipe bursts or equipment damage. It is part of the PowerG+ sensor family and communicates wirelessly with the host control panel.

Key Features

• Detects water presence at floor level for early leak identification
• Integrated freeze detection alerts to dangerously low ambient temperatures
• Wireless PowerG+ protocol eliminates need for sensor wiring runs
• Low-profile tile form factor for discreet placement in tight spaces
• Sold as a single unit for targeted placement at specific risk locations

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed alarm or low-voltage technician familiar with DSC PowerG system enrollment procedures. Before servicing the host control panel, power it down according to the manufacturer guidelines and disconnect the backup battery. Place the sensor tile on a flat, hard surface at floor level in the target zone and enroll it to the panel per the system programming guide. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and any applicable fire and security installation standards for your jurisdiction.
